Silvano Pravisano (20 January 1925 – 23 March 2020) was an Italian footballer who played as a forward.

Playing career

Pravisano started his career at Udinese at the age of 17.[1] While playing for the club, he also worked as a clerk for the Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane until 1948, following the appointment of Aldo Olivieri. In the 1947–48 Serie B season, he finished as the club's top scorer, with 9 goals in 32 matches, as Udinese were relegated back to Serie C. The following season, he scored 11 goals in 33 matches in Serie C to get them promoted back to Serie B.[2] Overall, he played 114 matches for Udinese, scoring 37 goals, alongside four matches in the 1944 Campionato Alta Italia.[2][2]

In 1949, Pravisano joined Torino, after their team had been killed in the Superga air disaster. He played 7 matches for the club in Serie A, scoring once,[2] as well scoring twice against Stade de Reims in the 1949 Latin Cup and being awarded the man of the match,[3] before being sold to Serie B side Legnano in November 1949, where he scored 34 goals in 68 matches across two seasons, and helped them get promoted back to Serie A.[2]

In 1951, he joined Genoa, where he spent five seasons before joining Parma, eventually retiring in 1958.[2]

Coaching career

Following his retirement, he worked as a coach for various teams, including Tisana, Maianese, Esperia di Udine, Sangiorgina di San Giorgio di Nogaro, Udinese's youth sector, Sangiorgina di Udine, and Pasianese.[1][4]

In 2015, while coaching at Cjarlins Muzane, the FIGC Regional Committee awarded the team a certificate of merit for their commitment to amateur football.[5]

Personal life and death

Pravisano had two children. Along with coaching, he also worked as a surveyor,[2] as well as a physical education teacher in Udine.[1] Additionally, he served as the regional president of the Italian Football Coaches Association from 1982 to 1988.[4]

Pravisano died on 23 March 2020, at the age of 95.[1][3] At the time of his death, he was the oldest living Udinese player.[3]
